'Knightfall' season 2: Release date, plot, cast, trailer, news and everything else about History Channel's period drama

Knightfall season 2 returns to History Channel after a long break with exciting new cast members and more

History Channel's flagship series 'Vikings,' will air its final season later this year, but 'Knightfall,' may already be geared up to take its spot. Season 1 of the medieval period drama first aired on December 6, 2017, and received mixed reviews. While some hailed it as "prolific," others called it "predictable," but season 2 promises to deliver a skyrocketing hit, how? Because Mark Hamill has been cast and fans are brimming with excitement.

Taking to the comment section of online platforms, especially YouTube, fans wrote that Hamill is not only playing history's real "Jedi Knight," but is also guaranteeing a cult following for the show. "Clever move by the producers to cast Mark Hamill. I'm sure season 2's ratings will skyrocket," said one user. Another added "Dammit. I’m going to have to watch a new show because of Mark Hamill."
